My mama showed me how to rock in the cradleBut I learned how to roll alongMy papa said 'Son, gotta git some fun,Cos when your old it ain't too good on your own'Been so long since you heard my songGonna pick up my guitar and playFelt so bad when I had to leave youBut I knew that I'd be back some day.

Groovin to American BandstandB.B. on stage with 'Lucille'The thrill is gone but it won't be for longCos you know I like to play how you feelNow that we're back togetherGonna shiver 'n' shake all nightI just gotta say the music I playWill sure enough make you feel alright.

Tho I learned how to rock in the cradleAn' rollin' came so easy to meAll the years I travelled the worldMade it so clear to seeIt's been so long since you heard my songGonna pick up my guitar 'n' playFelt so bad when I had to leave youBut I knew that I'd be back some day.

Comin' homeTo give you more than you bargained forComin' homeNo mistake I'm gonna shiver and shakeComin' homeGonna rock 'n' roll and give you my soulComin' homeI got over the pain I'm comin' home againComin' homeShiver 'n' shakin' anticipatingComin' homeThe thrill is gone but it won't be for long...
